Hello, have trouble with Ford because of the rust guarantee. Although all inspections have been made, the Ka rusts. Now after the winter the underbody looks like it will soon crumble. Ford says that these are all stone hits, although the rust from the grooves and double plates swells. Has someone ever complained rust against Ford for something and a verdict that I could refer to? Or an expert opinion? Greetings from Paderborn El Treno

Motor conversion Granada Funeral car with H-mark?
Hello dear Ford municipality! I couldn’t stand it without a nice craft car/Sunday car and bought a 1976 (MKII???) Granada funeral car. Had a 1976 GM Holden Panelvan before… and the Ford should replace this one here in Germany now… only flaw… I had a 3.3ltr 6 cylinder prepared and tuned by myself before. Now I have a 2.0ltr V6!!! And, of course, I have something going on. Now my question: of course I want a bigger moto But would like to keep the H-mark. Heisst as much as: if I can prove that it was time to drive this car with 3.0Ltr Essex engine (you already understand) then it is clear. Do I understand that correctly? What do the Ford and H-mark experts suggest, then, which engine should I install here in my case? Would like to stay with a carburetor engine because I know with eben simply. But would like to be able to get a lot of hp out of it already. all suggestions very open!!! The Essex is my favourite after my research so far but I haven’t found one to sell yet! Probably very rare… Happy me if you can give me suggestions and tips! Greetings Spooky Granada 1 Granada 2 My Holden which the Granada should replace now!!!

Air conditioning Ford Falcon
Hello together……well…because I don’t really know where to go with my request, I just post it here. It’s an Australian Ford but the problem could also be a very general one, not linked to the model. On days with increased humidity and normal temperature, one can see light “steam” coming from the air outlet openings of the air conditioner in the interior. The steam is odorless and only easily perceptible. At first I thought that some twas was sucked in from outside, which is not the case. Is it more related to the humidity or can result from a leak ( somewhere in the circuit) a odourless light fog ? With off-off air conditioning it settles. Maybe the one or the other has an nTip or an idea…… would be very pleased about it. Greetings The Moose

Total damage after towing
About 10 days ago my brake failed and I asked the ACE to send me a tow truck. 10 minutes later a tow truck appeared. He attached the tow hook to the eye of the rear of my car and pulled into the tow truck. Then what happened. The eye to my car tore down and the rest took care of the gravity. The dynamic drive ended at a lantern. My car suffered a total damage. The tow company has a tow truck. This insurance told me that the problem is to be found at the eye of my car. Probably will give problems with regulation. Now my question. Can someone give me pertinent tips?

Hi, I just bought a 1. ́8 D. The thing jumps in the morning or after 2 hours only after plenty of locality and delivery of a powerful cloud. I found here an article about where it should be the glow candles – unfortunately the solution was still open. Does one of you have a tip on how to get to the track of the error? Thanks to everyone.

Ford brings Europe models to the USA
read at KFZbetrieb.de Newspaper: Ford brings European models to the USA US automakers want to handle the expensive euro with domestic production According to a newspaper report, the Ford Group wants to produce its European models in the USA as well. For this purpose, it is planned to change some US plants, reports the “Wall Street Journal” on the weekend, citing informed persons. The project can be announced on Thursday at the presentation of the current quarterly figures. The plan had been advocated by CEO Alan Mulally and had encountered internal resistance, the newspaper wrote. Skeptics doubted whether Ford could meet the planned schedule of about 18 months and whether the models would be successful in the US market. One advantage of US production would be that the price of the smaller cars in the US market would not be driven up by the expensive euro. US car manufacturers are suffering from this. It’s hard to believe that their large off-road vehicles and pick-ups are selling worse and worse in times of high fuel prices. VW expects to overtake Ford this year as the world’s number three in sales.

no Ford anymore
Hello together, now it’s time. I returned my Mondeo (Mondeo Tunier Ghia equipment TDCI 2,0 130 hp, 5 gears – BJ 12/2002). Review: It all started with a Ford Focus Tunier, because I drove exactly 2 years. With this car I was in the workshop about 24 times during this time (which was a good thing everything was guaranteed). Afterwards we had taken off the car and bought us a Ford Mondeo Tunier BJ 8/2001 used. Equipment Ghia, Motor 2.0 l Diesel TDDI. Unfortunately, the paint has been released again and again. Workshop visits during these 3 months……. 4 x approx. 1st week (no accident counted)……, after that the dealer offered us a change. We accepted and got a Ford Mondeo Tunier year 12/2002, Motor Diesel TDCI 2.0 l. Unfortunately the joy lasted only short. The gearbox was already in the 4th and 5th gear it started to whistles. Conclusion workshop: the bearings of the 4th and 5th gear si We made another appointment with the workshop so that the problem could be solved. The heatable front and rear window was replaced, as well as the sporadic starting problems (engine did not go on). After a week I got the car again. And look, the whistle came back after about a week, the further we still had an oil pool (error of the workshop) under the floor and the problem of starting still had us. After all this, we still had an oil pool (error of the workshop) under the floor. We didn’t feel like Ford anymore and we returned the vehicle and got the money back. Well… let’s see what we’re going to drive now. One thing’s for sure. A Ford won’t. Conclusion for me: 2 x Ford super (2 x Fiesta driven) 3 x Ford bad (1x Focus, 2 x Mondeo) and countless workshop visits I think that’s enough for me to change the car brand. But I don’t mean to say that the Ford is generally bad. They probably also build good cars. I just had bad luck, but I don’t want to challenge my bad luck again. So, I wish you a lot of fun with your Fords and say goodbye to the Ford Forum dandelion.
